Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shift device in which a shift body is operated to change a shift position.
- a shift lever (arm) is press-fitted into and passed through a rectangular hole in an elastic boot body, and the rectangular hole pivots when the shift lever is pivoted.
- the elastic boot body forms a seal between the upper and lower sides of the rectangular hole.
- an object of the present invention is to obtain a shift device capable of improving the sealing performance of a press-fit hole in a sealing body.
- a shift device of a first aspect of the present invention includes a shift body that is movable to change a shift position, and a sealing body including a press-fit hole that the shift body is press-fitted into and passed through, with a press-fit interference amount between the shift body and the press-fit hole being larger at a length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole than at a length direction end portion side of the press-fit hole, the press-fit hole being configured to move when the shift body is moved, and the sealing body being configured to form a seal between one side and another side of the press-fit hole.
- the shift body is movable to change the shift position.
- the shift body is press-fitted into and passed through the press-fit hole of the sealing body, and the press-fit hole is moved when the shift body is moved.
- the sealing body forms a seal between the one side and the other side of the press-fit hole.
- the press-fit interference amount between the shift body and the press-fit hole is larger at the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole than at the length direction end portion side of the press-fit hole. This enables a reduction in the contact force between the shift body and a peripheral face of the press-fit hole at the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole to be suppressed, enabling the sealing performance of the press-fit hole of the sealing body to be improved.
- a shift device of a second aspect of the present invention is the shift device of the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the press-fit interference amount between the shift body and the press-fit hole gradually increases on progression from the length direction end portion side toward the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole.
- the press-fit interference amount between the shift body and the press-fit hole gradually increases on progression from the length direction end portion side toward the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole. This enables a reduction in the contact force between the shift body and a peripheral face of the press-fit hole to be suppressed from the length direction end portion side to the length direction intermediate side of the press-fit hole, enabling the sealing performance of the press-fit hole of the sealing body to be effectively improved.
- a shift device of a third aspect of the present invention is the shift device of the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention, further including a catch section that is provided at the shift body and that is configured to catch on a length direction outside portion of the press-fit hole in the sealing body.
- the catch section of the shift body is configured to catch on the length direction outside portion of the press-fit hole in the sealing body. This enables the shift body to be press-fitted into and passed through the press-fit hole in a state in which the length direction outside portion of the press-fit hole in the sealing body is caught on the catch section, enabling the shift body to be easily press-fitted into and passed through the press-fit hole.
